Synopsis

Fizzy, Wind Whistler, Shady, and Gusty are playing (Polo) ball. Fizzy cheats and uses her magic to create a bubble around the ball, Wind Whistler calls a foal but Fizzy can’t control it and bring it down. It floats off with the ponies in hot pursuit. While chasing after it, it leads them into a misty forest and to a booby trapped rock. This sends them down below the forest floor where the Dell Dwellers live. They knock over the barrel that is preserving the balance of nature on their way down and inadvertently release the Frazzits which throws off the balance. This mixes everything up into a chaotic mess. Fizzy, who now has Wind Whistler's intelligence, is left to sort out the mess. She recruits Gusty, who now has Shady's shyness to help blow the Frazzits towards the barrel. While Shady, who now has Gusty's boldness, knocks the bubbles Fizzy has made around the Frazzits, into the barrel. They successfully get all the Frazzits back into the barrel with no help from Wind Whistler, who is off giggling and having fun with Fizzy's personality. When nothing changing they relise they need to flip the barrel over, and the balance of nature is restored. The Dell Dwellers are grateful to have everything back in order, leaving Fizzy back to her old self of not really being sure what she’d done.

Songs

• Being Somebody else

Wind Whistler:
Gee, but it's a thrill being somebody else
Somebody other than me
Instead of being stiff and stern
I'm wild! I'm loose! I'm free!
Gusty:
Gee, but it's a blast being somebody else
Someone who's part of the team
I'm working side by side by side
And it's working like a dream
Shady:
It's fun to behave like someone
Who is very bold and brave
Fizzy:
I never knew it mattered
But it's nice being someone who's not so scattered
All:
Gee, but it's a joy being somebody else
It makes you walk on air
It lets you find the you inside
You never dreamed...
No, you never dreamed was there!

Errors

• Just after they knock the barrel over Wind Whistler has a pink wing.
• All through the song as from Gusty putting the Frazzits back into the Barrel that should be upside down. The word Balance is clearly written right side up.
• As the leader of the Dell Dwellers walks over with Wind Whistler to thank Fizzy, The barrel is off centre from the hill, Shady is Baby Shady’s colours and drawn oddly on the hill mound as an arm and head.
